DTV and 5-year driver's license
Hey folks! 👋 I might be a bit late to the party, but I wanted to share my experience getting a 5-year driver's license on a DTV visa. I went through the process a few months ago (back in November), so I'm not entirely sure how relevant it is now, I hope it is. Everything went extremely smoothly, me and my wife managed to upgrade my 2-year license to a 5-year one almost effortlessly. I hope my experience can help others. Required Documents Residence Certificate Original plus 2 copies Obtained in the Immigration Office (input docs are the application form and update TM.30 which must be updated after your current visa arrival date). Costs 500 baht. Medical Certificate Obtained at the nearest hospital. Costs 300 baht Queue registration in DLT Smart Queue App A printed ticket with the QR code. We chose the DLT Office in Phang Nga as it had the most available time slots back then. Passport Scans 3 copies of the passport’s face page and current visa page. Cash 700 baht in cash for fees. Initial Conditions We reside in Phuket and each of us had a 2-year driver license. I had a DLT visa, and my driver license was expiring in about 1.5 months. My wife held a NON-O 90-day visa (without a 1-year extension yet), and her license had expired 3.5 months prior to the day of our visit to the DLT office. At DLT Office When we arrived, the QR-code machine that was supposed to print our queue ticket wasn’t working. (Note: Foreigners must use the DLT Smart Queue App; walk-ins are only accepted for Thais). The receptionist directed us to a counter, where they scanned our QR code and checked our documents. Initially, they informed us that only one person is allowed per QR code. I explained our situation—highlighting my wife’s pregnancy—and they made an exception for both of us. They then asked us to make two extra copies of our passport pages (so having 3 copies of every document is a good idea). After about an hour of waiting, a staff member invited us to take a brief test covering: Recognizing red, yellow, and green signals Using the brake pedal on a red light Estimating distances between objects After the test, we waited again. My wife was called first; she paid the fee (~700 baht). When I was called, they initially said I was only eligible for a 2-year license because of my visa. However, I explained that a DLT-visa is valid for 5 years and quickly referenced a website confirming this. After a brief discussion with another staff member, they agreed to issue a 5-year license for me. I then paid the fee (~700 baht). We were then photographed, and within 15–20 minutes, we received our new 5-year driver’s licenses. Interestingly, the expiration date isn’t exactly 5 years from the application date—it’s 5 years from the next birthday. For example, my partner’s license is actually valid for about 5.5 years. Including the trip from Phuket and back, the entire process took about half a day. -

What side you sleep on?
Pillows ... oh please I use the wife, if she's not using me. Then if she's generating too much heat, I'll roll over to lay on my other side, and use the dog Till she's had enough, will get up, and use the back of my legs for a pillow. Then we all re-adjust & repeat after a couple hours. If we're not constantly waking up to each other, including the dog, snoring. With all that ... may need to add 2 more bedrooms to the house 🙄 -

Trump not fixed the war yet ? Maybe he can just sign a document in the White House and declare it's over, he's pretty good at that. -
